Ep 2: Artemis II, JonBenét Ramsey & The AI Relationship Trap

Welcome back to The Blue Caterpillar.

We are back for Episode 2, looking at the logic and chaos of the upcoming return to the Moon. We dig into the official status of the Artemis II mission which is tracking toward an early 2026 launch.

We talk about the sheer power of the Space Launch System (the most powerful rocket ever built) and the "readiness-driven" schedule that is prioritizing safety over calendar dates. We get into the heat shield investigations, the four astronauts making the trip, and what it actually means to prove humans can operate in deep space again.

Then, the rails come off. We debate whether The Simpsons are actually predicting the future or if we just live in a simulation. We try and remember Suits character names, discuss the nature of Deja Vu, and ask each other which conspiracy theories actually keep us up at night. We also dive into the strange details of the JonBenét Ramsey case.

Finally, we open the mailbag for Advice From The Blue Caterpillar, covering creepy unexplained events, TV shows we rage-quit, and the changing landscape of AI and relationships.
